That's Why I
Confessions of a Ghosted Heart
Lyrics
Hollywood Bowl
Reference to a location, Hollywood Bowl
Too drunk to text
Intoxicated, unable to send text messages
I was with my friends
Speaker was in the company of friends
At least that's what I said
Claiming to be with friends, possibly untrue
Missed all your calls
Ignored incoming calls
I overslept
Overslept, possibly avoiding confrontation
'Cause I was with someone
Spent time with someone new
Someone you haven't met
Emphasizing the unfamiliarity of the new person
That's why I
Avoiding eye contact when questioned about whereabouts
That's why I
-Couldn't look you in the eye
-That one time
-Every time
-You ask where I've been all night
-That's why I didn't show up
Providing reasons for not attending activities together
To CrossFit or yoga
-It's why I looked forlorn
-When we were getting boba
-Oh, it's why you see me disappear
Explaining the tendency to disappear and be absent during crucial times
Like a ghost
-It's why I'm never there
-When you need me the most
-Yeah, that's why I
Reiteration of the avoidance of eye contact and dishonesty
That's why I
-Couldn't look you in the eye
-That one time
-Every time
-You ask where I've been all night
-And I lie
Expressing guilt and acknowledging the inability to justify actions
Lie, lie lie
-And I know it isn't right
-And I've tried, oh, but I
-Can no longer justify just how I
-Give you love
Admitting to mistreatment and insecurities, recognizing the partner's purity
Then take it away
-You don't deserve
-The way I behave
-I'm insecure
-You knew that anyway
-Your heart is pure
-And mine needs to change
-That's why I
Commitment to change, expressing a desire for honesty and redemption
That's why I
-Am gonna look you in the eyes
-Every time
-You ask why
-Or wanna know what's on my mind
-I won't hide
-I'm done hiding
-If you give me one more try
-No more lies
-No more lies
-I wanna keep you in my life
-Oh, but I understand
Acknowledging the possible end of the relationship and anticipating partner's reaction
It's likely the end
-I wonder what you'll say
-Because you don't know yet
